Wow, The Count of Monte Cristo really made a surge. I'm a bit surprised so many people want to dive into a 1000+ pages as a book club read. Then again, we are talking about The Count of Monte Cristo. Some things exist to be an exception.

This one's on my "must read before I die" list, but I doubt I'd get around to it for this book club read.

I was somewhat hesitant to vote for it, but it is one that I have wanted to read for a long time. This version at Amazon says 1316 pages which would be the longest single volume book I have read (at least that I have kept track of). Although other versions list the unabridged length at "only" 688 pages, so we shall see.
